the tautomers, the stereoisomers and the salts thereof.

The compounds of general formula I may be prepared by the following methods, for example:

a) reacting a compound of general formula

wherein:

R_(a) and R_(c) are as hereinbefore defined, with a compound of general formula

wherein:

R_(b) is as hereinbefore defined; and

Z₁ denotes a leaving group such as a halogen atom, e.g., a chlorine or bromine atom, or a hydroxy group.

The reaction is optionally carried out in a solvent or mixture of solvents such as methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, benzene, toluene, chlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, benzene/tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, optionally in the presence of an inorganic or organic base and optionally in the presence of a dehydrating agent, expediently at temperatures between −50° C. and 150° C., preferably at temperatures between −20° C. and 80° C.

The reaction is expediently carried out in a solvent such as isopropanol, butanol, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, toluene, chlorobenzene, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, methylene chloride, ethylene glycol monomethylether, ethylene glycol diethylether or sulfolane or mixtures thereof, optionally in the presence of an inorganic or tertiary organic base, e.g., sodium carbonate or potassium hydroxide, a tertiary organic base, e.g., triethylamine or N-ethyldiisopropylamine (Hünig base), whilst these organic bases may simultaneously also serve as solvent, and optionally in the presence of a reaction accelerator such as an alkali metal halide at temperatures between −20° C. and 150° C., but preferably at temperatures between −10° C. and 100° C. The reaction may, however, also be carried out without a solvent or in an excess of the compound of general formula V used.

In the reactions described above, the secondary amino group bound to the quinazoline of general formula II or IV may be protected during the reaction by conventional protecting groups which are cleaved again after the reaction. Examples of protecting groups include the formyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, ethoxycarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, benzyl, methoxybenzyl, or 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group.

Any protecting group used is optionally subsequently cleaved for example by hydrolysis in an aqueous solvent, e.g., in water, isopropanol/water, acetic acid/water, tetrahydrofuran/water or dioxane/water, in the presence of an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid or in the presence of an alkali metal base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide or aprotically, e.g., in the presence of iodotrimethylsilane, at temperatures between 0° C. and 120° C., preferably at temperatures between 10° C. and 100° C.

However, a benzyl, methoxybenzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl group is cleaved, for example hydrogenolytically, e.g., with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or glacial acetic acid, optionally with the addition of an acid such as hydrochloric acid at temperatures between 0° C. and 100° C., but preferably at ambient temperatures between 20° C. and 60° C., and at a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 7 bar, but preferably 3 to 5 bar. A 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group, however, is preferably cleaved in trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisole.

A tert-butyl or tert-butyloxycarbonyl group is preferably cleaved by treating with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid or hydrochloric acid or by treating with iodotrimethylsilane, optionally using a solvent such as methylene chloride, dioxane, methanol or diethyl ether.

A trifluoroacetyl group is preferably cleaved by treating with an acid such as hydrochloric acid, optionally in the presence of a solvent such as acetic acid at temperatures between 50° C. and 120° C. or by treating with sodium hydroxide solution optionally in the presence of a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at temperatures between 0° C. and 50° C.

Moreover, the compounds of general formula I obtained may be resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereomers, as mentioned hereinbefore. Thus, for example, cis/trans mixtures may be resolved into their cis and trans isomers, and compounds with at least one optically active carbon atom may be separated into their enantiomers.

Thus, for example, the cis/trans mixtures obtained may be resolved by chromatography into the cis and trans isomers thereof, the compounds of general formula I obtained which occur as racemates may be separated by methods known per se (cf. N. L. Allinger and E. L. Eliel in “Topics in Stereochemistry”, Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical antipodes and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical-chemical differences using methods known per se, e.g., by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization, and, if these compounds are obtained in racemic form, they may subsequently be resolved into the enantiomers as mentioned above.

The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation on chiral phases or by recrystallization from an optically active solvent or by reacting with an optically active substance which forms salts or derivatives such as, e.g., esters or amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained, e.g., on the basis of their differences in solubility, whilst the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents. Optically active acids in common use are, e.g., the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid. An optically active alcohol may be for example (+) or (−)-menthol and an optically active acyl group in amides, for example, may be a (+)-or (−)-menthyloxycarbonyl.

Furthermore, the compounds of formula I obtained may be converted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may be used for this purpose include for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, or maleic acid.

The compounds of general formulae II to V used as starting materials are known from the literature in some cases or may be obtained by methods known from the literature.

For example, a starting compound of general formula II is obtained by reacting a 7-fluoro-6-nitro compound correspondingly substituted in the 4 position with a corresponding alkoxide and subsequently reducing the nitro compound thus obtained or

a starting compound of general formula III is obtained, for example, by reacting a suitable bromocrotonic acid derivative with one of the amines of general formula V known from the literature, or

a starting compound of general formula IV is obtained by acylating a compound of general formula II with a suitable crotonic acid derivative.

As already mentioned hereinbefore, the compounds of general formula I according to the invention and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an inhibiting effect on signal transduction mediated by the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGF-R), whilst this may be achieved for example by inhibiting ligand bonding, receptor dimerization or tyrosine kinase itself. It is also possible to block the transmission of signals to components located further down.

The biological properties of the new compounds were investigated as follows:

The inhibition of human EGF-receptor kinase was determined using the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain (methionine 664 to alanine 1186, based on the sequence published in Nature 309 (1984), 418). To do this, the protein was expressed in Sf9 insect cells as a GST fusion protein using the Baculovirus expression system.

The enzyme activity was measured in the presence or absence of the test compounds in serial dilutions. The polymer pEY (4:1) produced by SIGMA was used as the substrate. Biotinylated pEY (bio-pEY) was added as the tracer substrate. Every 100 μl of reaction solution contained 10 μl of the inhibitor in 50% DMSO, 20 μl of the substrate solution (200 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 50 mM magnesium acetate, 2.5 mg/ml poly(EY), 5 μg/ml bio-pEY) and 20 μl of enzyme preparation. The enzyme reaction was started by the addition of 50 μl of a 100 μM ATP solution in 10 mM magnesium chloride. The dilution of the enzyme preparation was adjusted so that the incorporation of phosphate into the bio-pEY was linear in terms of time and quantity of enzyme. The enzyme preparation was diluted in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 1 mM EDTA, 130 mM common salt, 0.05% Triton X-100, 1 mM DTT and 10% glycerol.

The enzyme assays were carried out at ambient temperature over a period of 30 minutes and were ended by the addition of 50 μl of a stopping solution (250 mM EDTA in 20 mM HEPES pH 7.4). 100 μl were placed on a streptavidin-coated microtiter plate and incubated for 60 minutes at ambient temperature. Then the plate was washed with 200 μl of a washing solution (50 mM Tris, 0.05% Tween 20). After the addition of 100 μl of a HRPO-labelled anti-PY antibody (PY20H Anti-PTyr:HRP produced by Transduction Laboratories, 250 ng/ml), it was incubated for 60 minutes. Then the microtiter plate was washed three times with 200 μl of washing solution. The samples were then combined with 100 μl of a TMB-peroxidase solution (A:B=1:1, Kirkegaard Perry Laboratories). After 10 minutes, the reaction was stopped. The extinction was measured at OD_(450nm) with an ELISA reader. All data points were measured three times.

The data were matched by means of an iterative calculation using an analytical program for sigmoidal curves (Graph Pad Prism Version 3.0) with variable Hill pitch. All the iteration data released showed a correlation coefficient of more 0.9 and the upper and lower values of the curves showed a spread of at least a factor of 5. The concentration of active substance which inhibits the activity of EGF-receptor kinase by 50% (IC₅₀) was derived from the curves.

The following results were obtained: Compound Inhibition of EGF-Receptor (Example No.) Kinase IC₅₀ [nM] 1 0.7 1(2) 0.6 1(3) 4.0 1(5) 3.0 1(10) 0.5 1(22) 1.0 1(32) 0.3 1(33) 0.5 1(34) 0.4

The compounds of general formula I according to the invention thus inhibit signal transduction by tyrosine kinases, as demonstrated by the example of the human EGF receptor, and are therefore useful for treating pathophysiological processes caused by hyperfunction of tyrosine kinases. These are, e.g., benign or malignant tumors, particularly tumors of epithelial and neuroepithelial origin, metastasization and the abnormal proliferation of vascular endothelial cells (neoangiogenesis).

The compounds according to the invention are also useful for preventing and treating diseases of the airways and lungs which are accompanied by increased or altered production of mucus caused by stimulation by tyrosine kinases, e.g., in inflammatory diseases of the airways such as chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive bronchitis, asthma, bronchiectasis, allergic or non-allergic rhinitis or sinusitis, cystic fibrosis, α1-antitrypsin deficiency, or coughs, pulmonary emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis and hyperreactive airways.

The compounds are also suitable for treating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and bile duct and gall bladder which are associated with disrupted activity of the tyrosine kinases, such as may be found, e.g., in chronic inflammatory changes such as cholecystitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract or such as may occur in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract which are associated with increased secretions, such as Menetrier's disease, secreting adenomas and protein loss syndrome.

In addition, the compounds of general formula I and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof may be used to treat other diseases caused by abnormal function of tyrosine kinases, such as, e.g., epidermal hyperproliferation (psoriasis), inflammatory processes, diseases of the immune system, hyperproliferation of hematopoietic cells, etc.

By reason of their biological properties the compounds according to the invention may be used on their own or in conjunction with other pharmacologically active compounds, for example in tumour therapy, in monotherapy or in conjunction with other anti-tumour therapeutic agents, for example in combination with topoisomerase inhibitors (e.g., etoposide), mitosis inhibitors (e.g., vinblastine), compounds which interact with nucleic acids (e.g., cis-platin, cyclophosphamide, adriamycin), hormone antagonists (e.g., tamoxifen), inhibitors of metabolic processes (e.g., 5-FU etc.), cytokines (e.g., interferons), antibodies, etc. For treating respiratory tract diseases, these compounds may be used on their own or in conjunction with other therapeutic agents for the airways, such as substances with a secretolytic, broncholytic and/or anti-inflammatory activity. For treating diseases in the region of the gastrointestinal tract, these compounds may also be administered on their own or in conjunction with substances having an effect on motility or secretion. These combinations may be administered either simultaneously or sequentially.

These compounds may be administered either on their own or in conjunction with other active substances by intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal or intranasal route, by inhalation or transdermally or orally, whilst aerosol formulations are particularly suitable for inhalation.

For pharmaceutical use the compounds according to the invention are generally used for warm-blooded vertebrates, particularly humans, in doses of 0.01-100 mg/kg of body weight, preferably 0.1-15 mg/kg. For administration they are formulated with one or more conventional inert carriers and/or diluents, e.g., with corn starch, lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol, water/polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, stearyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose or fatty substances such as hard fat or suitable mixtures thereof in conventional galenic preparations such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders, suspensions, solutions, sprays or suppositories.

The following Examples are intended to illustrate the present invention without restricting it.

Preparation of the Starting Compounds

EXAMPLE I 3-methylaminotetrahydrofuran

3.43 g of lithium aluminium hydride are added batchwise to 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran while cooling with an ice bath. Then a solution of 5.00 g of 3-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)-amino]tetrahydrofuran in 20 ml tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise, while the temperature remains below 10° C. After 10 minutes, the cooling bath is removed and the reaction mixture is refluxed for about three hours. For working up, 3.7 ml of water, 3.7 ml of 15% sodium hydroxide solution, and another 3 ml of water are carefully added dropwise to the reaction mixture while cooling with an ice bath. Then some tetrahydrofuran is added and the mixture is stirred for another 15 minutes. The aluminium hydroxide slurry precipitated is suction filtered and washed with a total of 150 ml of tetrahydrofuran. The filtrate is evaporated down using the rotary evaporator. A colorless oil remains, which is reacted without any further purification. Mass spectrum (ESI⁺): m/z=102 [M+H]⁺; R_(f) value: 0.20 (silica gel, methylene chloride/methanol=9:1).

EXAMPLE II 3-[(benzyloxycarbonyl)aminoltetrahydrofuran

12.36 ml of tetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylic acid and 27.84 ml of diphenylphosphorylazide in 500 ml of dioxane are combined with 41.91 g of benzyl alcohol and 35.81 ml of triethylamine. The reaction mixture is heated to 100° C. for about seven hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture is evaporated down using the rotary evaporator. The residue is taken up in 500 ml of methylene chloride and washed twice with 100 ml of 1 N sodium hydroxide solution. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated down. The crude product is purified by chromatography over a silica gel column with cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (3:1 to 1:2) as eluant.
